:: Saturn rings

What makes Saturn so beautiful is her rings. The rings of Saturn are much more elaborate than those of any other planets.

Saturn's rings are divided into 7: D, C, B, A, F, G and E. It is hard to see the F and G rings but A, B and C are visible with a telescope.

(the F and G rings are thin)

Whene Galileo observed the rings for the first time he thought they where moons.

The rings of Saturn are about the 4,000,000 kms wide!

The distance of Saturn to the rings is like the distance of earth to the moon.

They are composed of: icy snowballs or ice covered rocks.
